Copyright Office Offers Assurance on AI Filmmaking Tools
variety.com: The announcement clears the way for continued adoption of AI in post-production, where it has become increasingly common, such as in the enhancement of Hungarian-language dialogue in “The Brutalist.” Studios, whose business model is founded on strong copyright protections, have expressed concern that AI tools could be inhibited by regulatory obstacles.

The big takeaway from this report is that AI can be a tool for creativity, but it can’t replace actual human authorship when it comes to copyright protection. Basically, if you use AI to assist in making something, you’re good. But if you just type some prompts into a generator and call it your own? Nope, not happening. What really stood out to me was how this affects the film and TV industry. Studios are already using AI for stuff like de-aging actors and improving special effects, and this report basically gives them the green light to keep doing that. The Motion Picture Association made a solid point—AI isn’t replacing filmmakers, it’s just another tool to make their jobs easier. But on the flip side, I totally get why artists and musicians are worried. AI is trained on tons of existing work, and a lot of creatives feel like their art is being used without permission or credit. The Copyright Office kinda acknowledged this but didn’t have a clear answer on how it’ll all play out. That part is still a big question mark.
